  • TSX forever - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    My 2005 TSX handles like a dream. In the 3 years I have owned it, it has never given me a moments problem. I do the routine maintenance and in return I have a car that I can rely on 100%. By far the best car I have ever owned

  • Top Notch - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    The TSX offers everything one needs, expects, and would want in a car. The interior is tastefully designed, yet ergonomic and logical. The exterior is sharp and sporty, without being trendy. The car is fun to drive and exceptionally smooth, yet economical. The value of the car is second to none. If you compare the competitors cars with the TSX, you will pay significantly more for the same features. Nevertheless, as much as they may try, the feature the competitors can not offer is that of Hondas legendary reliabilty and leading-edge technology.

    10-yr owner of a 1994 Integra. Toss up between TL & TSX, but could not see a reason to pay the extra $6k for the TL. Wanted the flexibility of the rear fold down seats. Regularly get 23-25 mpg. The trunk now seems small since I’ve put a stroller in it. Battery replaced under warranty at 2.5 yrs – was in for an oil change & battery tested low so they changed it FREE. There was a rattle in the dash at cold temps – told it was a cantilevered dash, so basically a design flaw. Tried to fix 3 times & then a month or so after the last try it went away on its own. Most recent problem has been a side-to-side rock in the driver’s seat - fixed under warranty.

  • Love this Car! - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    We love this car. It handles so well and has plenty of power. The engine hums at 80 mph and stops on a dime. The interior is very comfortable and everything is in easy reach. We like the navi system and touch screen panel. The voice command system is ok and its often quicker to use the touch screen. The car is much nicer than the Accord or Camry and costs about the same. Great value!

  • The best is yet to come is here - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Figuring on higher gas prices in the future and not wanting to give up performance. I traded my 8 cylinder car for a 4 cylinder Acura TSX which has the pep of a well trained puppy dog. It loves to rev and with the sport mode stick shift in place you are Le Mans or Daytona in your mind !! Now I get quick performance at a very reasonable gas mileage. It is a drivers car that accomodates passengers !!

  • 2004 Model - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Ok, I have the 2004 Model. The Pros: Very Comfortable, Awsome interior, Fantastic ride and handling, great service. The Cons: The Rotors have been resurfaced and the rears replaced within 8,000 miles.(Known Problem. All four detention rods in the doors went bad. door panel cracked due to cheap plastic.Creak in dash and in drivers door. Door panel replaced but no fix. Japanese auto makers are going into the whole. Buying another Hyundai as they had been great comfortable reliable cars. Ill buy an NSX if I hit the lotto though. At least they are hand built.

  • Found a winner - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    I have owned BMWs in the past 20 years.The upkeep was quite costly, so I did some research on a new sports car. The TSX was well received by the writers and drivers of the main auto magazines, so I took a test drive. Love at first sight. The 4 cylinder, 200 HP engine has a lot of umph!!Gas mileage averages 28, and at future increases in gasoline approaching the 3 dollar level, this is very good.Im in my 70s and very impressed with this auto. Fun to drive daily.

  • 4 Cylinder Thriller - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    Acura has sired a 4 cylinder to take on the BMW. Its 200 HP happily thrusts you ahead from the stop lights.Tightness of drive is superb. Fit and finish is at first class standards, though I would have liked to see the wood trim continue to the back seats. Trunk space is masterfully done. This to me is a drivers car with stick shift manumatic or full automatic, sunroof and navigation system which is simply fantastic.

  • Best Acura yet - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    By far, this is has been my favorite car Ive ever owned. The interior is one of the best Ive ever been in, and the exterior looks great and is timeless. For a car under $30k, its a steal.

  • My third Acura - 2005 Acura TSX
    By -

    This is my third Acura. The other two where Integras and I was ready to move up to a bit of luxury. I didnt need a new car but I wanted this one. I knew I would not be concerned with reliability and quality of the build. Just about every feature is standard which just made it that much easier to buy. It is fun to drive and suprisingly my gas mileage is improving. When you close the doors it has a nice solid, snug fit sound that rings of quality. Of course, the downside of buying this car was moving to premium gasoline especially right at the time gas started going so high. But it is a low emissions vehicle so at least Im spewing less pollutants into the air.
